THE RATE OF NATURALIZATION AMONG IMMIGRANT STOCKS 159 
dominantly rural and their behaviour in respect of naturalization is more similar to that 
of the Slavic people than to that of the Italian and Greeks. They naturalize comparatively 
rapidly. 
Other things being equal, immigrants who settle in rural parts naturalize more rapidly 
than those going to cities. That is only to be expected from the homestead laws and the 
tendency for settlers on the land to be more permanent than those following most other 
occupations. 
The chart also presents the curve for the immigrants from the United States. The 
United States immigrants naturalize ‘as rapidly as the Scandinavians. Indeed, those coming 
in recent years have naturalized more rapidly. That is due probably to the large percent 
age of British stock and repatriated French Canadians included in the United States immi-~ 
gration, to which reference has been made in an earlier section. A detailed analysis of this 
chart is left to the reader. 
It is interesting to note, in conclusion, that the data presented in Table 95 substantiate 
the thesis postulated earlier in this chapter, that immigrants who settle in rural parts 
aaturalize more rapidly than those who congregate 1n cities.
